Its time for the ETF2L S26 playoffs! In the first round of the double elimination playoff bracket, we have 2nd seed nerdRage going up against 3rd seed Arctic Foxes. nerdRage have had a fantastic 34-point season, only dropping 2 points to ChampGG.K! in Week 2 and 6 points to Se7en in Week 5. Their opponents Arctic Foxes have had a good season as well, coming in at 26 points. The big thing that sets these two teams apart is their fixture in Week 3, when nerdRage won both maps, including a strong showing on Reckoner. Have Arctic Foxes improved and prepared enough to take on the strong nerdRage, or will the past repeat itself and nerdRage come out on top?

Beater, Frysk, WARHURYEAH and gemm will be displaying their casting & analysing talents for the game, which will be played on maps that have yet to be chosen.
